What color is the sky on your planet?

FEMA Director Michael Brown told CNN's Wolf Blitzer Thursday evening that "considering the dire circumstances that we have in New Orleans, virtually a city that has been destroyed, things are going relatively well."

If this is "going relatively well", I shudder to think what "all kinds of f*cked up" would look like.

yeah, I'm having a real laff over the accusations that this country would be pretty fucked up in the event of a man-made terrorist attack (vs. the one that Ma Nature just initiated)

der.. we dont have enough troops or vehicles they're all in eye rack fighting for oil.. I mean.. *cough* I mean fighting for freedom

Pay no attention to the monkey in the suit hugging the poor homeless people in Biloxi.

Why does this whole scenario in the Gulf states seem very much like a really long episode of the X-Files?

It seems like administration officials are, as usual, feeding us a line of bs.

What's different is that reporters are catching them at it. Even a local AM radio station, WLS, noted yeterday that there was a wide gap between what officials were saying and what reporters were seeing on the ground.

But I think this interview (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4828771) takes the cake.

I think this CNN story (http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/02/katrina.response/index.html), contrasting the official line with what CNN and other reporters say, is also an excellent example of how out of touch with reality some of our elected officials are.

Brown: I've had no reports of unrest, if the connotation of the word unrest means that people are beginning to riot, or you know, they're banging on walls and screaming and hollering or burning tires or whatever. I've had no reports of that.
